Chapter 156 Wood-wrapped tomb
In comparison, the number and light of the Eternal Life Candles were extremely strange. After all, there was no sound of fingernails scratching the metal in the bronze coffin. The scratching sound was particularly prominent and harsh in the oppressive underground space.
I hurriedly said to the fat man: Although the purpose of the bronze mirror is unknown, it was probably used to restrain the ancient corpse in the bronze coffin. Give it to me quickly, and I will put it back first and try to see if it can still work.
The fat man handed the bronze mirror into my hand. I took the bronze mirror and asked the fat man to ignore the longevity candle that had just been lit over there. He immediately went to wait beside the three candles. After I put on the bronze mirror, I immediately lit the life lamp.
superior.
I thought to myself: This time I cheated first. This time the weapon was of great importance and I had to take it. Anyway, we have broken the rule of not touching the gold when the rooster crows and the lantern goes out. The ancestor has a spirit in the sky, most likely
They will also understand our difficulties, who made us have a little better skills and a little less luck?
We were divided into two groups. I was alone and hurried to the bronze coffin. I held up the wolf-eye flashlight and took a look. There was a circular groove on the side of the bronze coffin, which should be where the bronze mirror was embedded, but it had already been covered by the fat man.
I used an engineering shovel to pry open a large piece. I was frightened by the sound coming from the coffin. Without any delay, I hurriedly turned the bronze mirror inward and pressed it in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left my hand, the bronze mirror immediately fell to the ground. Because there was a gap, the originally shallow groove could no longer hold the heavy bronze mirror. I quickly picked it up and re-embedded it into the bronze coffin.
, I pressed it firmly with my hands, but it didn’t matter. I couldn’t just keep pressing it.
Strange to say, as soon as the bronze mirror was embedded in the bronze coffin, the scratching metal sound inside immediately stopped. It seems as I expected, the bronze mirror is probably a magical tool used to suppress corpses. Historically, each family has its own method.
, I only know how to deal with zombies by the Golden Colonels. As for the methods of Taoism and other schools, I don't know anything about them. But it doesn't matter. As long as there is no corpse transformation, thank God.
I was so anxious that I turned around and asked her to light the three candles again. Then I rummaged through my carrying bag. I remembered that there was some tape, but I couldn't find it. There happened to be a small pack of American chewing gum.
I got it together. Then I stuffed it all into my mouth, chewed it wildly, and then put it into the gap where it met the bronze mirror. I beat it twice with my hands and let it go again. Although it was not as strong as the original one.
, which is enough to deal with it for a while.
All the candles on the fat man's side were lit. I went over to join them and said to them: Just now the candles were put out as soon as they were told, and the flames disappeared without even shaking. This shows that the ancient corpses in the tomb are not ordinary powerful.
Before it got dark, we saw black pigs crossing the river outside and strange signs of rain coming in. This all meant that the corpses here were so strong, and they were definitely not ordinary corpse monsters.
The fat man said: Isn't that the rice dumpling in the bronze coffin? Since it has been restrained by the bronze mirror, there is no harm in the material.
I shook my head and said: Not necessarily. It’s hard to draw a conclusion before looking at what’s in this bronze coffin. And don’t forget, except for the fact that you just pried it off, this bronze mirror has never been touched.
It's already so abnormal, so I'm afraid there might be something else hidden in this tomb. Anyway, don't make trouble for me anymore. After we find the Muchen Bead, no one can stop you from messing around as much as you want.
The fat man didn’t take it seriously: Why am I messing around? I did all the dirty work along the way. The people’s eyes are sharp. I have always been a hard-working old scalper. Commander Hu, if you always slander me like this
If so, then I will have to look down at thousands of people with cold eyebrows and be willing to be a coward.
I couldn't help laughing and said: My Commander Wang, for the sake of the party and the state, can you also calm down for a while? Why didn't I notice before? You are quite good at beautifying yourself, but does Ruziniu have as much meat as you? You are just a
Fat Niu, don't be cold-hearted with me right now. The most important thing for us is to go and see what's going on with the three new longevity candles that have popped up. How many corpses are there in the palm-sized tomb?
After saying that, I took the fat man and passed between the three sets of demon coffins and came to the tomb wall lined with immortal candles. There were three copper pillars embedded in them, but there were no lamps made by the black-scaled sharks.
Yes, the materials of these three immortal candles are far more terrifying than the six ferocious-looking mermaid lanterns.
These are three obese boys of about eleven or twelve years old, made to look like welcoming a boy. The posture of welcoming the boy is the same as that of a mermaid. They also kneel down and prostrate themselves, lowering their heads and closing their eyes. Their expressions are very peaceful. The wicks
Then it is placed at the navel, and a long part is stretched out, connecting the child's belly with the copper pillar behind him. In the past, the copper pillar and the human skin may have been filled with oil, which could pass through the navel.
The ground flows out.
But these ointments may have run out thousands of years ago, and the wicks were extinguished long ago not long after the underground palace was sealed. At this time, as the air gradually entered the depths of the tomb, a little bit of ointment remained on the three children's lamps.
, and after two thousand years, it burned again, but it won't take long, once the remaining lamp oil is exhausted, it should be completely extinguished forever.
Sigh: Gandhi of India once pointed out the seven deadly sins that destroy mankind, two of which are politics without morality, science without humanity. These children have become victims of the immortal dreams of ancient emperors.
I told me: It was very common before the Ming Dynasty for boys and girls to be buried. It became less common after Hongwu. I have seen it several times. It can be seen that the closer the era is to modern times, the more the world thinks that the dream of becoming an immortal and immortal is slim.
Hopeless.
The fat man held up the wolf-eye flashlight and looked back and forth at the three welcoming boys. After looking at it for a long time, he turned to me and said: Commander Hu, take a look, this kid is holding a sign in his hand. What does the word on it mean?
I squatted down and took a look at the position the fat man said. Sure enough, each of the lead boys held a bronze medal in their hands as hard as iron sheet, with four ancient characters written on it. It didn't recognize me, and neither did I.
To know it, you have to let it be recognized.
Half-kneeling on the ground, he looked at it with a flashlight and said that these four words were to attract immortals and lead saints.
I nodded and said: I dare to assert that it is exactly the same as the one in the legend. These three living immortal candles are the guiding boys. They are the boy holding the sign that guides the people who become immortals. They are probably the kind of messengers.
The old thief Xian Wang has thought about the role of the candle very well, but after all, it is still a form of longevity candle. Could it be that there are really nine corpses in this tomb and there are not so many?
He stood up, walked a few steps to the side, turned to me and said: There are more than nine. There is also the largest longevity candle here, but because it is too big, it can no longer light up.
The fat man and I walked around and saw a pure black copper lamp that was ten times as big as the Mermaid Immortal Candle. The copper lamp was in the shape of a big bull's head. It was vigorous and simple. Because the wick was too heavy, it had fallen to the ground. For
The number of longevity candles is equal to the number of tomb owners. I am absolutely sure that it is 1. Why are there ten longevity candles in this underground palace? Even if the three welcoming boys may not be counted, there are still seven.
.
Exactly what other important people's bodies are here? Apart from the princess, the other important officials should be buried in the accompanying mausoleum a certain distance away. Who are the ten bones? I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.
They also expressed that it was difficult to understand. Only the fat man said: What's all the fuss about? It's probably because he has more wives. Let's stop leaking and quickly increase the wealth in the coffin. The top priority is to dig for gold. How many corpses are there?
After opening the coffin and counting, it will become clear.
I said to the fat man: It’s rare that you have some sense. It seems that in the long and difficult and complicated struggle environment, you have finally begun to mature. If we want to stay at home, let’s just do this and eat noodles.
We originally planned to open the most valuable bronze coffin first, but after some calculations, we felt that since all three coffins had to be opened anyway, we might as well choose the most vicious bronze coffin to start with and fight a tough battle first to gnaw away the hardest piece.
The rest of the bones are easy to deal with. Even if there are zombies, as long as you are prepared in advance, you can be safe. If the dignified Colonel Jin is scared away by the corpse that has not yet transformed into a corpse, I am afraid it will be a lesson if he tells it.
People laugh at it. The bronze hanging coffin is less than one meter above the ground, and the height of the coffin body is nearly two meters. It is a huge thing, tied with several turns of chains, reinforced with nine heavy locks, and hung in the tomb chamber with sixteen large copper rings.
The top floor of the building may be connected by a load-bearing copper beam.
He said to me: The bronze coffin is hanging in the air and it is difficult to open it. We need to find a way to lower it to the ground.
I raised my flashlight and looked up, touching Captain Jin's body net and rope. It was indeed impossible to cast it in mid-air, so I had to go up first, remove the copper rings, and let them fall down. Although it was possible to
The copper coffin fell and cracked, but for a while, I couldn't think of a better way.
So I climbed up with my flying tiger claws. On top of this huge bronze coffin, I could no longer stand upright. When I raised my head, my mountaineering helmet hit the top of the tomb. I had to bend down slightly, and when I moved a little, the bronze coffin fell.
It shook a little, and the copper ring made a dull metallic sound, but the copper ring chain was very strong and not easy to break. I pushed it down a few times, trying to see if I could break the copper ring chain with my own weight.
The ring broke.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped on it, I heard a hard and crisp cracking sound coming from above my head, and the cracking sound gradually expanded. I felt bad. It seemed that it had been hanging here for too many years, and there were several stress points.
He was so tired that the oil was exhausted. The chain was not broken, but the copper beam above was about to break. He hurriedly asked He Fatty below to avoid being hit, and he immediately turned over and rolled down in the air.
The copper coffin, which weighed two thousand kilograms, did not last long. A hanging copper ring fell off from the copper beam first, and the rest of the force was naturally difficult to support, so it was immediately smashed from the top. This blow was naturally deafening and the earth shook.
, but he didn’t expect that the bronze coffin actually broke a big hole on the ground of the tomb chamber, and there were several sounds of rotten wood falling down. The bronze coffin only stayed on the ground for a moment, and then sank into the hole it broke.
In the cave.
The three of us hurried over and looked at the ground. Under the cracked tomb bricks, there were dark square logs. Each log was as thick as a human body and they were densely packed. However, they were severely eroded by sewage.
, have rotted to a very serious extent. These woods were not black before, but were corroded by sewage. The bronze coffin smashed through these rotten woods and fell into the depths.
I immediately threw down a cold firework, and my eyes suddenly lit up. There was a small room made of square logs below. It was very low and narrow. In addition to the fallen copper coffin, there was also a very special coffin next to it, with a faint fluorescent light.
, completely unlike anything in the world. Under the floor tiles of the tomb where we were, there was a thick layer of lime in the mezzanine connected to the square wood below, which had turned into white mud. The environment below was wet and humid.
The wet, rotten smell rushed straight up.
Although I was wearing a mask, I still felt a little suffocated. I covered my nose and said to Fatty He: It turns out that the old thief Xian Wang was hiding in front of this brick tomb. This is a tomb similar to a wooden coffin or a tomb. Unexpectedly, it was covered with heavy bronze.
The coffin was smashed and exposed, otherwise it would be hard to find. Some people say this is a coincidence, but I think this is fate. His Muchen Bead will definitely be in our possession within this moment or three.
The fat man picked up a bronze mirror from the ground and said to me: Commander Hu, you didn’t glue this mirror firmly together.
I was stunned at first, thinking that I was in big trouble this time. I actually forgot about the bronze mirror. I took it and took a look. Fortunately, it was not damaged. I just needed to put it back. But I lowered my head and looked into the wooden coffin tomb.
Look, I couldn't help but scream in agony. The chain that bound the coffin body was broken. Most of the nine heavy locks fell off. The lid of the copper coffin also fell open. In the dim light, it seemed that there were several unimaginably long nails coming out of the gaps.
It was poked out from the middle, which can be regarded as a mistake. Sure enough, there was another corpse in the underworld. Shumeng
